No matter which team you cheer for, there is one thing most of us will share in common — the traditional tailgating party grub. While a football game is a great time to spend time with loved ones and share in fun competitive camaraderie, the chances of overindulging from a nutritional standpoint are fairly good. Chips and dip, loaded baked potatoes, burgers and fries, you name it and it will probably be somewhere in the room on Sunday.

To help you steer your team of party goers in a healthy direction, below you’ll find two fantastic Super Bowl party recipes to incorporate into your festivities this weekend:

Healthier Buffalo Chicken Strips

This recipe packs in all that Buffalo wing flavor without the traditional Buffalo wing fat. Try these spicy chicken tenders marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce for a tasty, low fat crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

1/4 cup hot sauce

1/2 cup low fat buttermilk

1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch strips.

2 egg whites

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste

1/8 tsp black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.

In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce and buttermilk until combined. In a large shallow dish, arrange chicken tenders in one layer. Top with hot sauce mixture and toss to coat chicken evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
